Summary
The documentation page demonstrates some Windows bias in its description of Zerto platform components. The Zerto Cloud Appliance (ZCA), which is required for recovery to Azure Native IaaS VMs, is described as a Windows VM, and its subcomponents (ZVM and VRA) are Windows services. No Linux alternatives or parity are mentioned for this scenario. The ZCA is the only component described as Windows-only, while other core components (ZVMA, vRA) are Linux-based. The documentation does not provide Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples for ZCA scenarios, nor does it clarify if Linux users can perform equivalent tasks for Azure VM recovery. The order of presentation puts the Windows-only ZCA after Linux-based components, but the lack of Linux parity for ZCA is notable.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether ZCA functionality (recovery to Azure Native IaaS VMs) is available for Linux users, or provide Linux-based alternatives if possible.
- If ZCA must be Windows-only, explicitly state this limitation and suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
- Provide cross-platform instructions or examples for all major workflows, especially those involving ZCA.
- Consider adding a table or section comparing Windows and Linux support for each component and scenario.
